Trump’s problem is that he cannot step down or resign. Impeachment or the 25th Amendment might even have drastic consequences for him far beyond removal from office. To borrow a line from an old Tennessee Ernie Ford song, Trump “owes his soul to the Company store.”

He could not borrow money anywhere. His FICA score must be in negative numbers. He stiffed Deutsche Bank for millions; I saw one report placing the figure at about $3 million. The only places he could borrow money was from a Russian bank and/or that bank in Cyprus. They were willing to lend him as much as he needed wanted. When one borrows from the Russian mob Mafia Bank, they have this very effective collection agency so that a return on their investment is assured.

I see in the news that he recently “sold” an apartment to a Chinese person, Xiao Yan Chen, who is allegedly connected to the Chinese intelligence community. Sale price, reportedly $15.8 million. According to Zillow, the apartment is worth about $14.3 million.

If Trump resigns, the people he owes will not get a return on their investment. They won’t like that.

If he is impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment, the collection agency is going to take that personally.

If he is indicted and tried for treason, that can’t possibly end well--in more ways than one.

Recall that we recently learned Gen. Michael Flynn was fired from his job as National Security Adviser when the news was leaked that he had been paid a half million dollars by Turkey. According to Bill Palmer of the Palmer Report, Flynn now finds himself in the position of Turkey demanding he return their money, since they did not get the services they paid for. The ball goes around and around, where it lands, nobody knows.

One other thing; the way that particular collection agency works, the debtor’s family is also regarded as collateral for the loan.

There is no way out for him. At least none that I can see.

We're all in this.

Trump put America up as collateral. I dare say Putin has already made back his investment. Look at the fucking mess Bannon and Trump have made of America in just a few weeks. A few million here and a few million there is nothing to Putin. Russia is a bigger seller of oil than Saudi Arabia.

The thing Putin fears most is his oil losing value...being left in the ground because of electric vehicles and renewable energy. Putin is trying to maintain the value of his trillion dollars worth of oil reserves and Trump is dancing like the old time hurdy gurdy man's monkey.

I don’t have one drop of sympathy for Trump and his utterly corrupt family. They are traitors to humanity who would turn this planet into a smoking ash pit for a few moments of wealth, power and fame.

I don't know about the veracity of any of those details about his money but this is truth, its why i say trump is trying to kill me

i also don't think he's a monkey i think he's a willing and enthusiastic partner

also the country with the least to lose and the most to gain from climate change is russia, because their coastline is arctic and flooding/melting gives them more access to siberia which has many untapped resources

She only discovered her ballot had been used when she called election authorities to inquire about how she can vote, considering that she was registered in Colorado but had just moved to South Carolina.

An election worker told her she had already voted.

"I was just completely stunned," said Mrs Curtis, who now lives in South Carolina.

"I thought there had to be some kind of mistake.

"For somebody that speaks out for the constitution and voters rights and our right as US citizens, it definitely goes against what he talks about on his shows and how he lives his life."

No one likes pedophiles (scum of the fucking earth) but I wonder how the "alt-right" is justifying this pervert who was Donald Trump's state chairman during the presidential primaries?

Oklahoma state senator 'to quit' over motel child sex charge

An Oklahoma state senator will bow to calls to resign after he was charged this month with several counts of child prostitution, his lawyer says.

Senator Ralph Shortey has been facing calls to quit since when he was caught with a 17-year-old boy in a motel in Moore on 9 March.

The FBI and Secret Service have joined in the investigation, and Mr Shortey's home was searched on Friday.

The married father remains a salaried, voting member of the state legislature.

Mr Shortey will resign on Wednesday, says his attorney Ed Blau.

But even if found guilty of the child sex charges, he will still be eligible to collect his state retirement package.

Last week the Oklahoma Senate voted unanimously to strip the 35-year-old of his privileges, including his office, his assistant and his parking spot.

But Mr Shortey, who was first elected in 2010, is still able to vote on bills, unless he is formally expelled by his colleagues, or is convicted of a serious crime.

After a closed-door meeting on Monday, lawmakers said they were considering additional actions to remove the Oklahoma City Republican from the statehouse.

Senate president pro tempore Mike Schulz said on Monday afternoon the chamber "reserves the right to take further action as necessary" and "continues to explore the options available".

Unless he steps down, is convicted or expelled, Mr Shortey will continue to draw his $38,400 (£30,760) annual salary.

Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn charged Mr Shortey last week with engaging in child prostitution, engaging in prostitution within 1,000ft (300 metres) of a church and transporting a minor for prostitution.

According to Moore police, Mr Shortey was arrested at a Super 8 motel room that smelled heavily of marijuana.

Investigators said they found the boy's Kindle Fire tablet and obtained a search warrant for it.

Police say Mr Shortey had exchanged text messages with the boy, at one point asking if he would "be interested in sexual stuff".

Mr Shortey was found with an unopened package of condoms when he was arrested, police reports indicate.
